Operating Grants For Book Publishers, Periodical Publishers and Arts Service Organizations

Deadlines:
Book Publishers: December 1

This program assists selected book and magazine publishers as well as arts service organizations. Publishers present the work of Manitoban and Canadian writers to the public. Service organizations promote writing, books, and magazines to the public as well as provide services to their members. Publishers must have two years of project assessment before applying to the program, and must have been resident in Manitoba at least three years.

Guidelines are not available for download. For more information, please contact the Program Consultant.

What is the difference between an arts council and an arts council? ‘Arts Council’ means different things when naming different types of organizations. There are, essentially, two types of arts councils whose activities are primarily different but complementary.

MAC uses the peer assessment process to award most grants. That means that qualified artists and arts professionals make the funding decisions. If you are a professional artist in Manitoba you can participate in this process. It’s a great way to serve the community and to get an inside perspective on how awards are made.

If you happen to be an artist or a member of an arts organization, you’ve most likely worked diligently on assembling a grant application, painstakingly double-checking that all requirements from the guidelines have been met. You’ve managed to submit your grant application by its program deadline date – so, what exactly happens during the wait-time between submitting a grant application and finding out whether it has been awarded or declined?
